VIENNA UPDATE: BUSH VISITS VIENNA

President Bush is going to Vienna. My Vienna correspondent writes: On Tuesday Mr. President is coming to Vienna and the city will be totally closed off for that reason - until he leaves on Wed. evening. When I read of the number of people accompanying him, the aircraft coming in (a bit more than Austrian Air Force, I think), he is bringing his own helicopter, dozen of cars, etc. - this puts the 30 trucks that Rolling Stones roll through the world in to shame for sure.. I wonder why the "founding fathers" were against aristocracy, kings, etc. - this is similar - at least the costs to the taxpayer are..

Also the EU is discussing illegal immigration. People expect the response of European governments to illegal immigration to be about as effective as Washington's.
